Pinax (as an example) has a deploy/pinax.wsgi file that you can use as an entry point for your app independently by your filesystem/pythonpath choices. It worked (at least for my company where we host hundreds of WSGI apps) 100% of the time and without users pain. I cannot say the same for the module approach (yes, a lot of users are not very confortable with PYTHONPATH/sys.path.... probably they should change work but why destroying their life when we have already a solution working by years :P ) -- Roberto De Ioris http://unbit.it _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list [email protected] Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/gcpw-web-sig%40m.gmane.org
